A savoring moment.

All alone, just me and You. I thought to myself, “this is perfect”.
I need this. I need this time alone with You. You are all I want. All I need.

So I laid back on the hammock and looked up. Clouds, sky, sun, trees.
Your creation was still. I thought about Who You were and where I’d been.
Your goodness and my sin. It felt like it was just You and me, nothing else.

I was humbled. That the God of the universe knew my name.

Chief of sinners – yet I was forgiven. I truly did not understand.

I realized I would never really ever understand.
So I sang praises to Your Name and laid my heart out for You to take.
I gave You my will, my strength and my being. All I was – was Yours.
It felt . . . free. Safe. Loved.
I savored Who You are and just sat there in Your Presence.

There is None like You. No one. You are God of the universe. The Great I Am. Molder. Maker. Creator. Redeemer. Light of the world. Keeper of my heart.

I had the most beautiful moment with God a few weekends ago that I had to share. I was at my sister’s in Wisconsin for the weekend. The guys went fishing and the girls went on four-wheelers. All alone – me and Him. It was a savoring moment. One I won’t forget. I last posted about savoring my grandchildren and what a delight that is. But this savoring – this time with God was . . . different. It was like no other.

I dare you to take a moment and savor.

Psalm 62:5-8

Yes, my soul, finds rest in God;

My hope comes from Him.

Truly He is my rock and my salvation;

He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.

My salvation and my honor depend on God;

He is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Trust in Him at all times, you people;

pour out your hearts to Him,

For God is our refuge.

Lay your heart out for Him . . . . and savor.

Victory - a habit.

My heart is heavy today – full of despair. A beautiful woman, I love and thank God for, with an abuse problem, is in ICU. While high on heroin, she drove her car into a parked semi. What???????????!!!! Let’s just sit on that for a while. My despair is NOTHING compared to her despair – her children’s despair. Her parents’ despair. This abuse problem has been around for years. That’s who she is . . . “an addict” (her words). Really? I have never been addicted to drugs so I don’t understand this addiction, but I have known other “addictions” – I have felt helpless – I have labeled myself “defeated”. Hopeless. I am so sick and tired of Satan and his destruction. I have had it. Why do we give him so much power? He delights in this . . . . this darkness. No more. I claim in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ – LEAVE THIS WOMAN ALONE! I found a great quote from Charles Gore (British theologian): We are conscious of our own weakness and of

Happy New Year! It’s a new year, a new beginning – the old is gone, the new has come! YIPEE! Not that 2012 was so awful – but it’s good to start afresh, don’t you think? Get rid of some old “bad” habits, put on some new “good” ones. My husband and I have promised each other we are not going to be “crabby” with each other anymore. I am horrible! We will try and talk nicely to each other - that alone will be a miraculous feat!! Sometimes, I just want to take back immediately what I just said – ever want to do that? At my office, my new cubby partner taught me a wonderful keystroke last year that I told her has “spiritual” meaning. Seriously! ctrl-Z. Ever use it? It un-do’s. Yep – whatever you type wrong or don’t mean to do – it undoes it. Ingenuous! I use it all the time now. (I know – I’m slow!) What on earth could be the spiritual meaning of ctrl-Z? Hmmmm, well . . . . how about when I am crabby and disrespectful with my husband (last y

Accept one another . . . in order to bring praise to God !

What a horrendous week it has been for me! And its only Tuesday (sigh!) Sometimes I just want to climb into my fifth wheel and wheel away . . . . I don’t care where, just ANYWHERE but here – I hate conflict, don’t you? I think I hate it because conflict tears at my heart – its sin and its wrong. But can we live in a world, okay let’s just say “in a family” without conflict? Aren’t we supposed to be a family (whether by blood or by faith) of unity – a Christian community that loves one another and is unified? Seems simple, doesn’t it? It ain’t! One wants this, the other that. Someone is unhappy or feeling unloved or being pushed around. There’s manipulation and pride and jealousy – these ARE NOT family traits you know (!) or for that matter, “fruits” of the Spirit! In all this muck, I have been praying, I have been fasting, and I have sought counsel, both from the Word and from wise prayer warriors. I have tried to get to the bottom of it all and I have t
